These meatballs will fluff up nicely and are a perfect way to sneak in more protein for the kids. I’m sure you can do this in a slow cooker as well to minimize active cooking time but I haven’t tried it! Happy holiday!   Check out our complete collection of Rosh Hashanah recipes for mains, sides, soups, desserts, and more inspiration for the holiday.

Cooking time Will the meatballs be cooked after only 12 minutes on a low simmer?

I would think in the boiling hot water it should be ok if they are very small meatballs. Think hamburgers that are grilled six minutes on each side in intense heat. I would check one to make sure though.

Very original take! This looked so fancy, and the chicken balls tasted great. I adjusted the method of the onion soup to be closer to real French onion soup, caramelising the onions with a little sugar for half an hour, then adding water with a little soup mix (about 1 tsp) and letting it simmer on low for an hour. The balls were easy to make (I cut up the grated carrots with a knife, rather than lugging out my food processor) I made 20 balls with half the mixture and froze the other half for use again, maybe with a vegetable soup instead. It was thoroughly enjoyed!
